Redid some stocking in the 180

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Tank looks great man. Nice stock, as they grow the tank will fill out nicely. Personally would add more rocks/wood and try some aquatic plants secured to the driftwood. But it looks very nice as it is!


I had java fern before but there's an 4.5 inch uaru in there so I'm assuming the floating plants are only temporary and actual plants might not last in this tank.

I've wanted to add more rocks/ manzanita driftwood but would also like them to have plenty of space as they all grow since im about maxed out in this tank and with the uaru, sev, flagtail, and threadfin acara might get cramped.

This is the base of my rock work but God knows how many rocks are under the sand thanks to the geos lol

Looks beautiful!
Congratulations. Fish look healthy and happy. Frog bit is doing its thing.
I am a fan of green-hued aquaria, as opposed to too washed-out white looking aquaria from too much light. I believe fish appreciate it too. But it is admittedly subjective.

Thats one of the reasons I added the plants... the lighting and sand were washing out colors...
 
I added java fern back in hoping if the severum and uaru end up eating plants it will be the floating ones they have had for the past month or 2 since they have been growing at an obnoxious amount.

Tank looks amazing!

What type of floating plant are you using? Do you have any problems with it getting in your filtration?

Very nice scape btw!
